Thread: What are you hoping for/expecting from 7.0?

I'm hoping for a time skip, used as a justification for a graphical update. And maybe finally letting the twins grow up while we're at it.

A dead game. If the zero queue times on release of 6.1 is any indication.

I think we'd be fine with Yoshi P if he'd be allowed to just focus on the one game instead of also having to work on XVI. It feels like the game's focus is suffering from the split attention.

Yes, I know that's not how big corporations work. Doesn't mean I can't wish.

It feels equally as likely that more creativity is then able to fall through the cracks, into realization, with him distracted.... A pragmatics-first approach, let alone that in such a way that frequently misinterprets or misconstrues players wants, can only take a game's direction so far.

In either case, though, it'd be good to start putting some fresh eyes on the scene, even if not at the helm, to compensate for both XVI's distractions and Yoshida's more persistent blind spots (see, for instance, healer complaints).

At a quick glance of looking through what some people want, I think the becomes a bit of a problem as it seems what many players want, and what the devs will likely focus on it making a pretty game, not a good game.

More job "redesigns" that oversimply eveyrthing for players that probably don't exist.

expectations? more F U's to the playerbase because the devs have their feelings hurt by modders that do their job both better and for free.

Less "flavor of the expansion" content, if Island Sanctuary is finally released in 6.2x and then has last update in 6.5x, it's gonna be yet another system online being worked on within an expansion.
